Excellent information!!!! Thank you for the clear, concise, and relevant guidance. Another lesson learned for me includes knowing the limitations I’m working with - a single needle machine - I have to be realistic of what I can do vs. what I want to do. 😊. Appreciate you and your willingness to share your experiences with us. Best wishes for many blessings!!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. I have a problem with saying no. Will definitely work on that skill this year. When you first start out you are so keen just to get the work but it makes for a very stressful time if you haven’t practiced before hand. Great advice.
First lesson I learned, was never rely on just one supplier. Be it for bobbins, garments, or anything else. You always want to have at least three available to help cover your back should one not have the products in hand that you need. In my case, bobbins was an issue. I purchased 144 from Amazon, to learn later that they wouldn't be shipped until 02/01/2022 while I had just 15 in stock.
My superpower def is badges, and most of my customers are patches and caps. I recently got really overwhelmed by digitising that I decided to leave the more detailed tasks to professional digitisers. Glad you said you cant be good in everything embroidery. Great video. Have a nice Holiday!
I definetly agree on the learn to say no, lately with the new trends in streetwear my clients want to do crazy super big prints, over pockets and over zippers etc.. These are usually way out of my comfort zone cause I know that these types of things will not come out good consistently. Instead of saying no I always let the client know that what they want may not come out how they expect , I also let them know other options of how to get certain things done ( like getting things over seas) but I realize most people just want what they want, so I don't mind expirementing but I always emphasize to them before so they don't try to hold me accountable for anything.
Thank you Romero for sharing your knowledge and experiences. I learned from all your advice but the one main thing that really hit me is to try and narrow down my specialty. It's very challenging to me cos I like to do alot of stuff but it's costly. Wow how I am gonna do it ....... I will think hard about it and take action. God Bless ya for all you do. See you in the nxt video.
Great video. I've been in Business 22 years and I do offer pretty much every services that print apparels, but I " DO NOT" invest in inventory!!! I'm more of a services. You tell me what you want and I make it happen if it's within my means.
Excellent advice!!! New subscriber and I love your channel. Interested in getting into embroidery and your channel is a great resource and very inspiring…Keep up the great work!
Greetings that may be happening when in the cap embroidery the edge comes out register in small embroidery, however in flat hoop I board it very well, but in the cap it loses the register of the outline
It can be 2 things, either you need more backing or a tighter fit or you can add more compensation or increase the size in the area thats losing registration in the digitizing. Its kind of hard to tell w/o a picture, but you can maybe try one of those 2.
We don't accept customer provided garments. Would rather embroider on products we have in full stock, and not worry about a minor hiccup on a very expensive garment. Also a customer might want to provide a very cheap item, and it affects the quality of the stitch. Ive seen embroiderers accept customer items, with no issues, I just stay away from that.
Lesson #5 Say No! I learned that one too.!

Very good point. I use Allstitch for my bobbins, usually have it in 3-4 days. But yea, never want to be out of bobbins.

Very good info. I learned dont buy blanks just to buy them. It counts as inventory until it’s used.
Great point, thanks.
Sería muy buena idea que explicara en español también no sé mucho inglés pero gusta como enseña

Great content like always.
Where do you order your hats from. I have a 1501 as well. Still in the learning.
Thanks. I get my hats at SSactivewear
Great video, thank you, I have a question, what about those clients that provide the garment, should I take the order or say no?
